Microsoft Brings Windows Live to BlackBerry

Microsoft has made its Windows Live suite of services, which encompasses Windows Live Search, Hotmail, Messenger and Spaces, available to the BlackBerry OS platform. It is offering the suite to BlackBerry users for the first time, who will be able to take advantage of BlackBerry's push technology and have their Hotmail / Windows Live Mail delivered directly to their BlackBerries. Windows Live Messenger on BlackBerry will support group chat, presence, avatars, emoticons, file transfers and conversations can be saved. The software will be available later this summer.
